What

Meta-issue to batch all the philosophy loop improvements into a single prompt update. References:

  • #204 (Rockachopa needs browser/API scraping)
  • #205 (Diversify action proposals)
  • #206 (Quality gate for thin entries)
  • #207 (Journal format cleanup)
  • #208 (Source coverage tracking)

The Update

One surgical edit to the philosophy loop cron job prompt that:

  1. Rockachopa cycle: Use x-cli user timeline rockachopa --max 20 when X API is available, fall back to browser tools, then local files. Explicit fallback chain.

  2. Action diversity: Add explicit list of action TYPES to rotate through (code change, config param, loop prompt change, test case, doc update, CLI script, behavioral rule, metric/log line). Ban "X Check — three questions" unless paired with enforcement mechanism.

  3. Quality gate: Before filing, self-assess on 4 criteria. If 2+ fail, skip and note in journal.

  4. Journal format: Use patch tool for appends, not shell echo. Standardized entry format. No fence artifacts.

  5. Coverage index: Maintain a COVERAGE section at top of journal for quick dedup and gap identification.

Scope

Single cron job prompt rewrite. Blocked on #204 (X API credentials) for the Rockachopa piece, but everything else can land now.

Depends On

  • #204 (X API) — for Rockachopa cycle improvement
  • Journal cleanup (#207) — should happen first

UPDATED — Rockachopa approach changed

#204 is no longer about X API. The Rockachopa cycle will read AlexanderWhitestone.com instead. #210, #213, #214 closed.

[Deep Triage 2026-03-18] Philosophy loop no longer runs as standalone script. These improvements are moot.
